Hi mate if it helps from memore the Rev 1 has 7 stud exhaust rev 2 was 9 and rev 3 had 8.
Re: rev 2 engine?
That looks SUSPICIOUSLY like the Rev2 engine that i sent to the scrapyard in the car....
Are any of the exhaust studs bodged in? If so forget it, the head was junk.

Re: rev 2 engine?
Its def a rev 1 or 2 turbo...from the 9 exhaust studs for the manifold id say its a 92-93 rev 2 as mine is this and it also has 9 studs.

Don't buy anything before you have evidence of a compression test this will give you the best idea of the health of the engine. Don't want to tell you how to suck eggs but obviously even across all 4 cylinders with WOT and believe 170psi is about the area you want.
Otherwise you may be putting more cash into it than buying a fully tested running engine.

Re: rev 2 engine?
true, your not wrong. I'm just after a relatively cheap engine to get the car running is all..... i know cheap isnt always the way to go, at least the internals dont appear to be rusted like mine are............

Re: rev 2 engine?
It's a REV2
Not been tested, seen or heard it running and without any guarantee then i wouldn't spend over£100 on it
Compression test is ok'ish but that still don't mean the engines good.

Re: rev 2 engine?
They are some very lean looking exhaust valves.
It's not an engine someone has regularly serviced or ever cared for.
Can you get a pic of the engine number? should tell you when it was built then.
The part number pictured is a rev2 number.
